Seperate mesh library

[michelk]

Hi, I'm doing surface water modelling; and process extensively polygon-meshes. So far I haven't found a framework to alter meshes in a programmatic satisfying way.

I'm very new to Haskell, but very enthusiastic about it, and keen to learn it. Maybe we could have a seperate mesh-module?

I'd also be somewhat interested in a separate mesh loading/saving package. Exactly what set of features are you thinking of?

Features my dream-mesh-tool could do

• Interact with airborne-laser-scanning (ALS) data
  • refine/coarse triangulated mesh according to ALS
  • interpolate elevation from ALS
• Inject points/lines/holes into the mesh
• Mesh-Simplification
• Reading and writing in different mesh-formats (.stl,.2dm, ...)

That's what spontaneously comes to my mind ...

There are some existing c++ libraries

• OpenMesh
• libLas
• Pointclouds
• CGAL

I guess interfacing them in a scriptable way would solve the issue; but that I don't know how to achieve.
